All mediums are equally good in my system, vinyl, CDs and streaming. Variety is the spice of life. I hope none will ever die completely.
Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel
A few years ago ago Hegel issued “The Mohican”, proclaiming the name was chosen because CD was a dying format and that this would be the the last CDP that one would ever have to acquire. They have now issued a new player, of which I read the review in Hi Fi News. I forgot what they actually named it, but the reviewer waggishly suggested they name it Lazarus, as the format may be arising from the dead.
If anyone has actually heard the player, I would be interested in their impressions.
Other manufacturers such as Denon have also released “statement “ players recently.
Otherwise, does anyone think that this is a stay of execution for the format?
